Re: New slipstream or delete updates?

Keep in mind that and "hotfixes", "patches" and "updates" are not
synonymous - hotfixes do not require restart and generally can be
slipstreamed - patches and updates may pr may not.

Last year I created a slipstream of SP2. What I wanted to know was:
should I create a new slipstreamed SP2 with all of the new updates that
I have on my machine from the past year, or delete all of the updates,
or just use the original slipstreamed XP. OR if anyone has any other
suggestions, I am a sponge ready to learn!
I have always kept up with the windows updates.
Thanks!

look at AutoPatcher

makes it easy to apply all hotfixes since SP2 in one fell swoop.

AutoStreamer can be used to make a full up slipstream, but since
autopatcher it doesn't seem as popular/necessary. AP does require you to
have a SP2 install CD, either original or slipstreamed.

Finally, use Belarc Advisor to double check that all the hotfixes have
been applied.
